Build error - while testing GTK+ project

[jantma2]

Hello,

first I'm complete noob in code::blocks as well as programming, so this question seems odd to some of you.
I've started a new GTK+ project - from project list. After that I see some lines of code and I assume this can be compiled, build and executed, just in order to see what it does.
So I've clicked "Build" and I receive this message:

Code

-------------- Build: Debug in Test (compiler: GNU GCC Compiler)---------------

mingw32-g++.exe -LC:\GTK\lib -L"C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeBlocks\MinGW\mingw32\bin" -o bin\Debug\Test.exe obj\Debug\main.o   -lgtk-win32-3.0 -lgobject-3.0 -lglib-2.0
C:/Program Files (x86)/CodeBlocks/MinGW/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.9.2/../../../../mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lgobject-3.0
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Process terminated with status 1 (0 minute(s), 0 second(s))
2 error(s), 0 warning(s) (0 minute(s), 0 second(s))

No idea what this tells me (except there is an error).
I'm looking forward to your help.
Thanks in advance.

Please read this FAQ http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=FAQ-Compiling_%28general%29#Q:_How_do_I_report_a_compilation_problem_on_the_forums.3F

Code::Blocks version ?
GTK library version and where did you get the GTK library from ?
Compiler name and version ?
Operating System information ?

Hello,

let's try a re-start of that post.

I am running Code::Blocks version 16.01 on Windows 7 64bit.
codeblocks-16.01mingw-setup.exe

The compiler I use is GNU GCC Compiler (no idea how to find the version number).

I got those GTK libraries (don't know which one is right)
gtk+-bundle_3.6.4-20130513_win64
gtk+-bundle_3.6.4-20130513_win32

This was my source:
http://www.tarnyko.net/dl/gtk.htm

From beginning of that week I'm running from error message to error message - beginning of folders not found - libraries not found - changing project script - changing toolchain.
Everything got me a step forward, but this error message blocked my way.

I think that codeblocks-16.01mingw-setup.exe has a 32 bit Mingw TDM GCC Compiler; but, I have no idea if you are using it or NOT.
Please post a full rebuild log And, I might have a chance at guessing from the output.

But, you could also post the Toolchain setting to know what Compiler you are using.
http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php/Installing_a_supported_compiler#Compiler-neutral_setup_steps
I only need the "compiler's installation directory" to confirm you are using the 32 bit Mingw TDM GCC Compiler.
Edit2: In some unusual cases, another mingw GCC compiler  on the computer will interfere with the one set in the CB Toolchain.

Another FAQ that might help fix your issue is

NOTE: Please use the Project setting (For your project) to fix the issue or in a few weeks; you will have another issue to fix!!

Where do I find the full rebuild log - I've postet everything that I found in "Build log"-Tab.

you could also post the Toolchain setting to know what Compiler

I hope the attached picture is the information you'd like to have.

You appear to be using the mingw shipped with Code::Blocks.

Edit (changed library to path): To fix your issue, try adding the linker search path!!
Do you know what hyper links are? If yes, follow the ones I post!
If no, then there is NO way for me to help you!

If you want any more help from me POST the FULL rebuild log!

Hello,

while checking all those hyperlinks in detail I decided to redo the complete set up process.
And now it works - I don't exactly know which step I forgot last time. But 

Thanks for helping me to get in touch with code blocks.
